Chapter 23
Xie Yuchen didnt answer the phone. Ah Tou watched as Liang Yanyan hung up and then stuck the lipstick into the cigarette pack.
"Its at our expense now, Liang Yanyan said to Ah Tou. "How much is my hospitalization fee? Ill transfer you the money.
"No, its fine. You had a work injury. I Ill be responsible.
"Xie Yuchen is my boss, not you. Keep the receipt for now. Liang Yanyan suddenly remembered something, Wheres the guy with sunglasses?
"I went to find him after I called the ambulance. He helped me get you here. Then he got a call and rushed off.
"He rushed off?" Liang Yanyan dialed Black Glasses' phone and found that the call was soon picked up.
The other party was very quick to answer.
"Were heading to Guangdong. Ill send you the address, so can you arrange the fastest route?"
"Oh, so you are all right."
"I can't reach Xie Yuchen. Can you help me deal with him?"Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
Its not as pleasant as I thought it would be.
After landing in Guangzhou, they called a car and headed straight to the village by the sea, which was near Jiazijiao in Shanwei. The trip took another two hours and there was no place for them to stay in the village. It was said that many places there were overgrown with weeds and a lot of villagers had moved away. Most of the villages in that area were also buried in grass, which was why the place was also called the Island of Grass.
The car had to stay with them; otherwise, they wouldnt be able to get back. Ah Tou volunteered to take care of the fare, but her heart trembled like she was a constrained housewife.
When the two got out of the car, Ah Tou immediately regretted it. The path into the village was full of lush weeds that almost reached their knees. Insects that were visible to the naked eye flew in dense clusters in front of the headlights, bumping into their mouths from time to time.
There were two flashlights in the car, so she took one while Liang Yanyan took the other one. Liang Yanyan swept the light around and saw a motorcycle parked by the side of the path.
"This belongs to the guy with sunglasses. Hes been in there for three hours and still hasnt left yet. He hasnt made any progress, Liang Yanyan said.
Ah Tou felt like she was involved in a competition that seemed to have a lot to do with her but also nothing to do with her at all.
She was just about to speak up when Liang Yan started advancing towards the village.
She followed along, realizing that she shouldnt have worn pants that exposed her ankles. The grass scratching against her legs as she walked really hurt a lot. Liang Yanyan was also wearing her clothes, but the other woman was taller than her and had longer legs, so her ankles were even more exposed than Ah Tous were. Liang Yanyan simply used her socks to protect her ankles, but Ah Tou wasnt wearing any socks. The driver also wanted to join them, so he took out a roll of paper napkins from the car and wrapped them around Ah Tous ankles with tape.
By the time the two of them caught up, Liang Yanyan was already very deep in the village. Ah Tou quickened her pace and soon saw a wall with words written on it: Living Immortals Residence; Ask Heaven for Medicine; Heal and Save People.
